Lady Mesanna says: Hi Dol
Dol: Evening developers!
Dol: I have two questions tonight.
Dol: First one is for Kyronix.
Dol: Kyronix, would you consider adding both Orc masks and helms to the
Dol: blackthorn turn ins?

Kyronix : We have a list of items that've been requested for Blackthorn's
Kyronix: Can certainly add those

Dol : Fantastic, looking forward to it!

Dol: Second question.
Dol : Recently on stratics, there has been requests for global events
Dol : which run at all times that the majority of the players can participate at all times
Dol : and earn rewards not based on logging in at certain times

Lady Mesanna : are you talking about town invasions?

Dol : What is the future in terms of plans for global events?
Dol s: No, not invasions. that is only one of many possibilities though =]

Lady Mesanna : We have been putting in events that you can do over and over at any time

Dol : But anything from puzzles, or stuff like the old solen events

Lady Mesanna : That was a request for the 20th year celebration of past events
Lady Mesanna: is that what your talking about

Dol s: Oh no, I dont mean a repeat of old events, just new ones along that line hehe
Dol : I just think the community feels, most major story lore
Dol : should be done as a global event

Kyronix : It is....

Lady Mesanna: always has been
Lady Mesanna: unless we ask the EM's for assistance with a global arc

Kyronix : In which case those are one off live elements that fit appropriately within the story
Kyronix s: But the majority of the global lore is driven by content we create
Kyronix : I.E....we are in the midst of learning about the Valley of Eodon
Kyronix : In the wake of the Time of Legends expansion
Kyronix : We heard from people that they didn't want us to drop the new expansion like a hot potato
Kyronix s: So we are keeping to that and fleshing out the valley and it's history
Kyronix : We just finished the interactions with the tribes people
Kyronix : In the Valley of One quest
Kyronix : Next we are moving into the Myrmidex Threat
Kyronix : that Sir Geoffrey eludes too
Kyronix : So...ya it's global lore driven by us

Dol : Well then looks like big stuff is coming
Dol : I will be watching =]
Dol : With that I am done
Dol : thanks for your time!

Lady Mesanna : read the news letter coming out
Lady Mesanna : it should help
Dol : I will thank youLady Mesanna : welcome have a good evening

Taodkiller Dog : ev4eningLady Mesanna : HI Taodkiller

Taodkiller Dog : my question is a confusion on game mechanijncs
TaodkillerDog : Could you explain how luck is applied to the loot in a party? Does the high dam dealers luck get applied
Taodkiller Dog : Is it random from all party members? Does the # of party members effect the loot.
Taodkiller Dog : confused how it works

Lady Mesanna : Bleak has this one
Lady Mesanna : so yes you are correct its totally random

Taodkiller Dog : i understand how luck works just not whose luck it takeS?
Taodkiller Dog : any damage dealers?
Taodkiller Dog : or just highest

Lady Mesanna: it picks a random person in the party each time
Lady Mesanna: as long as you are in the party
Lady Mesanna: or do you need to be on the top attacker Bleak

Taodkiller Dog : oh boy i had that wrong ty

Lady Mesanna: one sec
Lady Mesanna : just making sure
Lady Mesanna: I see your confusion
Lady Mesanna: ok
Lady Mesanna: so if you are on the top attacker list ie healer damage dealer
Lady Mesanna: it picks a random person from there and uses their luck
Lady Mesanna: BUT
Lady Mesanna: not just your party

Bishop: did you determine they are working the way you wanred?
Bishop: wanted
Bishop: for protection
Bishop: and killer
Bishop: what the name applies to

Kyronix: It's specific to the creature

Bishop: so there are no super protections
Bishop: like slayers

Lady Mesanna: no sir

Bishop: k ty vmLady Mesanna: welcome
Bishop:

Fortunata: Good evening. Can the shard bound stealables from Ararat &Eodon please have a turn in value
Fortunata: other than 0 or less than one

Lady Mesanna: we can do that

Fortunata: ty

Lady Mesanna: welcome

Fortunata: also why are there times a group does shaowroof and has no drop?

Kyronix: The specialty drops are given randomly
Kyronix: Even if you don't get the specialty drops
Kyronix: The random loot that's generated on the bosses is amongst the best in the game
Kyronix: So it's a pretty strong consolation prize, even still the odds for getting drops are relatively high
Kyronix: Comparing to other encounters

Fortunata: ahh, just a tad disappointed for the effort to get into the encounter
Fortunata: ty for answering
Fortunata: goodnight

Lady Mesanna: Have a good evening

Charmaiye: evening allLady Mesanna: hi Charmaiye

Charmaiye: i'm standing in for gov Vyxen,
Charmaiye: she has brought up suggestions for monglow, and a fix, and was wondering if it's possible. she wrote it in a book.

Bree Bloodbane: I am a returning player and have a question about housing

Lady Mesanna: welcome back

Bree Bloodbane: Thank you *smiles*
Bree Bloodbane: in regards to co-owners specifically
Bree Bloodbane: used to be my co-owners could freely unlock and lock things down without problems
Bree Bloodbane: but now I have trouble
Bree Bloodbane: I can see where this could help with security

Lady Mesanna: they can lock and unlock most things other than the items you placed as owner

Bree Bloodbane: but between multiple accounts it can cause issue
Bree Bloodbane: well I am experiencing
Bree Bloodbane: as the non home owner
Bree Bloodbane: if i place an item
Bree Bloodbane: another non home owner on same account
Bree Bloodbane: cannot unlock the item
Bree Bloodbane: is this a bug possibly?
Bree Bloodbane: sometimes I can unlock it, other times I cannot
Bree Bloodbane: mostly i cannot

Lady Mesanna :we will have to look into this if you are seeing two different issues
Lady Mesanna: random results
Lady Mesanna: send me account and house info
Lady Mesanna: and I will look into it

Bree Bloodbane: Ok, thank youLady Mesanna: welcome
Bree Bloodbane: and have a great night *smiles*Lady Mesanna: you also

Basara: first, my alliance is a pale shade of its former self. The leader hasn't played in 5 years, my guild
Basara: master lest 4 years ago under the shadow of stage 4 melanoma, fate unknown

Lady Mesanna: ok I can fix the guild but not the alliance
Lady Mesanna: by appointing a new GL
Lady Mesanna: but you can quit the alliance
Lady Mesanna: I can fix the guild though
Lady Mesanna: and appoint a new guild master
Lady Mesanna: but you guys can vote him out

Basara: that would be ok, but of course one of the difficulties will be eventually if we do another alliance

Lady Mesanna: like I said you can always quit the alliance
Lady Mesanna: once you get an active guild leader

Basara: some of the other guilds would eventually have to be fixed. And one guild is a legacy that has
Basara: only dead in RL members from where the player passed

Lady Mesanna: I can only do it one at a time when its brought to my attention
Lady Mesanna: email me the info and we will fix the guild

Basara: I'll see what I can dig up on the others. The second question isLady Mesanna: what is your next question?

Basara: Is it safe to put the combination access chest I got in Fairfax the same time as this robe
Basara: out in public yet?

Lady Mesanna: yes

Basara: IIRC there was a bug with it back then'

Lady Mesanna: people can guess the combo if you have it out

Basara: That reminds me - I still need to get that print framed. forgot about it in my move.
Basara: TY

Lake: I was wondering if the removal of pet spiritual cohesion will be in publish 93 and if swamp dragons are apart of it

Lady Mesanna: no

Lake: to the publish 93 or both?

Lady Mesanna: sorry no its not going to be in 93

Lake: aw =(

Lady Mesanna: but we are doing a pet revamp in the near future
Lady Mesanna: that will be addressed there

Lake: what about the swamp dragon part?

Lady Mesanna: we will do it all at the same time
Lady Mesanna: with the pet revamping

Lake: sounds great
Lake: Have a wonderful evening all

Lady Mesanna: we still have not agreed on a final decision yet though
Lady Mesanna: you also
Lake: I hope you guys will soon

Lady Mesanna: hi Jahajx
Jahajx Jov: Good evening and thank you all for gracing our corner of the Multiverse.

Jahajx Jov: My question is in regards to the new skill primers.
Jahajx Jov: I have them stacking up and I'm not sure what to do with them.
Jahajx Jov: Are you planning on including a combine feature similar to scroll binders?

Lady Mesanna: no we have not made any plans for books

Jahajx Jov: or perhaps a book shelf storage system similar to the Trancendence, Power and Alacrity books?
Jahajx Jov: at very least can they be worth something when thrown away for turn in points?

Lady Mesanna: we can add them to the turn ins
Lady Mesanna: yep
Lady Mesanna: we can do that

Jahajx Jov: thank you for that

Lady Mesanna: welcome

Jahajx Jov: on the subject of turn ins
Jahajx Jov: is there any chance that the hay and broken chair daily rares can have a turn in value?

Lady Mesanna: those are just the rares not a stealable right?

Jahajx Jov: correct

Lady Mesanna: we can add them

Jahajx Jov: again thank youLady Mesanna: welcome
Jahajx Jov: until next we meet fairwell and safe travelsLady Mesanna: Good evening

Lady Mesanna: hi Sulla
Sulla: Good Evening

Sulla: forgive me if this has been asked already
Sulla: i was wondering if you would reconsider the runebook colors
Sulla: they are very dark and hard to tell apart
Sulla: Plant stains are over ridden by the new colors

Lady Mesanna: we will talk about reverting it

Sulla: its not so bad in your backpack
Sulla: but in rune libraries its terrible
Sullas: thank you Milady
Sulla: i pray for your favorable answer
Sulla: *bows*
